PrettyLady16 answered Saturday July 23 2005, 5:50 am: if the situation that your friend is in at home is really bad, like her parents abusing her, then find help for her. don't encourage her to deal with it of course. if she is just mad at her parents because they made her clean her room or whatever, then call up her parents and let them know that she is safe with you. parents get really worried about their kids. you don't want to have the police searching for her for no reason. just think things through and maybe talk to your parents if you confide in them. i hope all turns out well.

karenR answered Saturday July 23 2005, 12:14 am: I think the best thing you can do for your friend is to encourage her to stay put. Running away never solved anything and will probably just make more problems for her. Better to face them head on and be done with it.
I don't think you should get involved with hiding her out at your house. For one thing your parents won't approve. If you don't say anything then you'll be in trouble yourself. If her parents can't find her they will call all her friends anyway. Next they will have police looking for her. You could both get in trouble. So, best not to help her with the hiding.

anne_givings answered Friday July 22 2005, 11:55 pm: you should definately help her if she needs a place to stay. if shes having family problems make sure her mother or somebody isnt gonna call up to your school or something looking for her, because that can just make her end up right back at home! trust me, she wont want to get pulled out of class to end up where she ran away from in the first place. but you should definately help her out. just do your best to keep outta trouble!

x0xbrunettebabex0x answered Friday July 22 2005, 11:02 pm: Hey babe. If you're friend feels the need to run away, you should deffinitely be there for her and let her stay with you! Also, try and talk to her and see why she is, because it could be something major that has to be stopped even. Example: her parents may be do something that they shouldn't. NOT that I'm saying anything like thats taking place. Because I don't know you or your friend, it's just a thought. But you should let her stay with you until she's ready to go back home! Best of luck to both of you! xOxOx [ x0xbrunettebabex0x's advice column | Ask x0xbrunettebabex0x A Question ]
ncblondie answered Friday July 22 2005, 10:55 pm: Simply remind her that you're there for her if she needs you and leave it at that. Hiding her at your house, while a very generous offer, may end up getting you in trouble so I would think about it before saying yes come on over.
You might take a look at the following link. It has information on runaways and offers crisis intervention. You can give the number to your friend. It's toll free and completely confidential. 1-800-RUNAWAY.

ItzMzManda answered Friday July 22 2005, 10:30 pm: If you really care about your friend you should try talking her out of running away. You dont know what could happen to her. She doesn't have to listen to you, but think about it what if you dont ever see her again. A lot of things can go wrong. You could stop her from making a big mistake. What if she's not happy after running away. Tell her how you feel and its not really worth it. Try talking her parents about it, but tell them not to worry because you can help or they should try talking to her. Hope this helps!!
cookierat123 answered Friday July 22 2005, 10:24 pm: i think that you should. i mean would you rather have her out on the streets or with you? i think you should really let her stay with you. your friend is oviously having trouble with how her life is going. you should talk to her before you let her though. tell her that she should at least THINK about wat she is doing. but if she has made up her mind completly then let her stay with you. i hope things work out with you guys and if you want you can ask me anything else.
